Manchester derby: United vs City
The Manchester derby between Manchester United and Manchester City is older than both clubs' current names. The first meeting took place on 12 November 1881, when St. Mark's (West Gorton), the club that became Manchester City, hosted Newton Heath LYR, the forerunner of Manchester United; Newton Heath won 3–0 in what the Ashton Reporter described as a pleasant game. The first Football League meeting followed in the 1894–95 season, a 5–2 win for Newton Heath at Hyde Road. At the time the fixture had no special significance, and the clubs were two of many young sides in the area. Today United play at Old Trafford and City at the Etihad Stadium.
